Help needed to create new Global Estonians exhibition at Vabamu Museum in Estonia!

Estonia has always looked for ways to leverage itself globally. Vabamu’s next exhibition, “Global Estonians”, will do just that.

Opening in summer 2025, this major exhibition will highlight the history of Estonian migration, eastwards and westwards, voluntary and forced, from the late 19th-century through the restoration of independence in 1991, and beyond. When Estonians move, they carry a small part of their homeland with them. “Global Estonians” wants to capture these stories.

Please send Vabamu a photo and describe in 100 words or less your idea of Global Estonia. Think of  how you and/or your family, friends, home, and work represent Estonianness. Submissions, due by the end of 2024, may be included in Vabamu’s exhibition, which everyone is invited to visit next summer.
